THE HEARTCHANGE OF A ROBBER

When Jesus was hanging on the cross,
there were 2 men that hung on each side of Him. (Matt 27:38)

    Both the robbers were casting the same insult at Him. (Matt 27:44)

    But then in Luke 23:39 we see that one of the men had a change of heart-

“One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!"
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
41 "And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
42 And he was said, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"
⁴³ He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

I think that perhaps maybe, just maybe, the man heard Jesus cry out “Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do” after everything that He had been put through….and that Love, was so gripping, that it overwhelmed any hate or bitterness inside the heart of that robber.

Maybe your at a point to in your life where you know you’ve done wrong… a lot wrong, and you’ve even doubted and spoken things against God.

I want to encourage you that it’s not too late to cry out for God’s forgiveness and cry “Lord! Please, remember me”!

Let His love work in you.

You don’t have to be angry anymore….or feel hurt or lost.

TODAY:

Jesus wants to meet you right where you are at.

Give Him the chance.
